Abstract:
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are more precise standardizable candles
when measured in the near-infrared (NIR) than in the optical. With
this motivation, from 2012 to 2017 we embarked on the RAISIN program
with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to obtain rest-frame NIR light
curves for a cosmologically distant sample of 37 SNe Ia (0.2≲z≲0.6)
discovered by Pan-STARRS and the Dark Energy Survey. By comparing
higher-z HST data with 42 SNe Ia at z<0.1 observed in the NIR by the
Carnegie Supernova Project, we construct a Hubble diagram from NIR
observations (with only time of maximum light and some selection cuts
from optical photometry) to pursue a unique avenue to constrain the
dark energy equation-of-state parameter, w. We analyze the dependence
of the full set of Hubble residuals on the SN Ia host galaxy mass and
find Hubble residual steps of size ∼0.06-0.1mag with
1.5σ-2.5σ significance depending on the method and step
location used. Combining our NIR sample with cosmic microwave
background constraints, we find 1+w=-0.17±0.12 (statistical +
systematic errors). The largest systematic errors are the
redshift-dependent SN selection biases and the properties of the NIR
mass step. We also use these data to measure H0=75.9±2.2km/s/Mpc
from stars with geometric distance calibration in the hosts of eight
SNe Ia observed in the NIR versus H0=71.2±3.8km/s/Mpc using an
inverse distance ladder approach tied to Planck. Using optical data,
we find 1+w=-0.10±0.09, and with optical and NIR data combined, we
find 1+w=-0.06±0.07; these shifts of up to ∼0.11 in w could point to
inconsistency in the optical versus NIR SN models. There will be many
opportunities to improve this NIR measurement and better understand
systematic uncertainties through larger low-z samples, new light-curve
models, calibration improvements, and eventually by building high-z
samples from the Roman Space Telescope.
Description:
Here we present NIR cosmological parameter measurements from the
RAISIN (anagram for "SNIA in the IR") survey. RAISIN used 23 SNe Ia
discovered in the Medium Deep Survey (MDS) of Pan-STARRS in Hawaii
(see Jones+ 2018, J/ApJ/857/51 ; Scolnic+ 2018, J/ApJ/859/101 and
Villar+ 2020, J/ApJ/905/94) and another 23 discovered by the Dark
Energy Survey (DES) at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in
Chile (see Brout+ 2019, J/ApJ/874/150). We triggered Hubble Space
Telescope (HST) observations of those objects with WFC3-IR using the
F125W and F160W filters. After applying a number of well-motivated
cuts to the data, we use 42 low-z SNe Ia from CSP-I (hereafter CSP)
and 37 high-z (z>0.2) SNe Ia from RAISIN to measure the dark energy
equation-of-state parameter, w. In this work, we pursue an "NIR-only"
cosmological analysis that uses a different wavelength range than
previous cosmological analyses with SNe and will have reduced
systematic uncertainties due to dust.
The RAISIN program was carried out in cycle 20 through HST-GO 13046
(hereafter RAISIN1; PI: Kirshner) and cycle 23 through HST-GO 14216
(hereafter RAISIN2; PI: Kirshner). RAISIN1 observed SNe in the
redshift range of 0.22≤z≤0.50 and RAISIN2 observed SNe at
0.35≤z≤0.61 to observe at redshifts where the available HST filters
overlap with the rest-frame YJH filters to minimize K-correction
uncertainties.
Due to occasional poor weather during PS1 and DES observing seasons
and the need for HST template imaging after each SN had faded, RAISIN
observations for each program extended over a period of 1.5-2yr;
RAISIN1 observations were taken from 2012-Oct-29 to 2014-Jun-17, and
RAISIN2 observations occurred from 2015-Sep-28 to 2017-Nov-21.
There are two sources of well-sampled low-z NIR SN Ia data, the CfA
and CSP samples (Friedman+ 2015, J/ApJS/220/9;
Krisciunas+ 2017, J/AJ/154/211). These were combined to yield a sample
of 89 low-z, NIR-observed SNe in Avelino+ (2019ApJ...887..106A 2019ApJ...887..106A). We
restrict ourselves to the CSP data for the low-z SN sample used in
this work. See Section 2.2.3.
